Review of 'The Big Sleep' on 'Goodreads'

5 Sterne

Private eye Philip Marlowe navigates a world where cigarettes are the only reliable comfort and the dames are as dangerous as they are alluring. Marlowe's search for a missing millionaire uncovers a tangled web of blackmail, corruption, and enough corpses to fill a Hollywood graveyard. This hard-boiled classic is a delightful cocktail of sharp wit, gritty atmosphere, and a plot twist that'll leave you saying, "Huh?" (but in a good way).
